Millions of Americans suffer with PTSD. The conventional medications have been found to be ineffective, toxic, addicting and disabling. The scientific evidence proves there is a defect in the endocannabinoid system in those with PTSD. Cannabinoids/cannabis are safe and therapeutic. Socialization (social support groups) and help rebuilding Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs are key elements to saving lives of those with Post Trauma. Take an active role. Get involved in helping others. It's about love and kindness.
PTSD is an endocannabinoid deficiency disease. Analogous to diabetes being an insulin deficiency disease. Lower levels of endocannabinoids have been found in those with PTSD. Instead of patients being allowed to use/grow cannabis, they are being given powerful, toxic, mind/behavior altering drugs.
